In 1997 when Tamilnadu government decided to change the name of every corporation to TNSTC. ATC became TNSTC – Salem Region I, ASTC to TNSTC – Salem Region II.

Registration Nos: TN – 29, TN – 27, TN – 30.

Operations:

Presently TNSTC – Salem operates city buses in important cities of Namakkal, Salem, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri in TamilNadu and Borders of Karnataka (KA). It also operates long distance services to many destination of TN

It has the pride of operating Buses to 3 states in South India Tamilnadu, Karnataka and AndhraPradesh. Operations to Bengaluru, Mysuru in KA, Thirupathi, Chitoor in Andhrapradesh., state border villages depends mainly on TNSTC Salem Division buses.

Eventhough other corporations operates from Kanyakumari, thisenvillai, marthandam, nagerkovil,thirunelvelli. I saw many more routes from kudallur, But tnstc salem failed to operate from Salem to the above destinations. We do not know the reasons.P.Palraj.

This blog is merely an information blog for TNSTC (which is a very good initiative) and not an official site. This is clearly mentioned in the top of the site. You have to forward your query / request to the official TNSTC office. FYI, I remember seeing a bus from Salem to Kumbakonam via Trichy, Thanjavur.

Bus No 15D from Namakkal to Sevinthipatty route never stop at Mettupatty samathuvapuram bus stop @ 7.50 a.m., There are so many school going students awaiting in the bus stop. But the bus never stops there.

Bus availability is good. But space between seats are not comfortable. Every weekend I used to travel from Bangalore to Salem, 3.33 hour journey. Because of less space between seats, getting leg pain. They have provide some good space between seats, if the travelling time is more than 1 hr. Hope changes will happen.

This is to bring to your notice that the Bus number TN 29 2621 1-1 nonstop service bus provided by TNSTC From Hosur to Salem on 22nd September people boarded the bus @ 10:00 but the bus started @ 10:41 even then after coming out of bus stand the conductor told that there were no much tickets filled hence they turned back to the bus stand and made people from other bus to board in this and started @11:00 and was stopping in all the stops in the route even though they got tickets of high fare of 1-1 non stop please take necessary action on the conductor and driver

Salem to Jayankondam route via: Attur, Virudhachalam is similar to Salem to Chidambaram. Salem to Jayankondam this route travel time is 4hrs.
No more buses operated in this route. If there is any services, it will be definitely helpfull and efficient.
Salem to Kumbakonam route via: Attur, Virudhachalam, Jayankondam is much shorter than other routes operated now.

I am NAHAKISOR from Salem, on 15/08/2017 by 4.45PM I went to MADURAI from SALEM ( High way Rider ).. When I reached Madurai I forget to take my Shoe Bag. If the bag is in the bus, My father NAAGU will collect the bag in your SALEM -Ramakrishna Road Office, Kindly inform us, and do needful.

Sir I want to know whether salem to trichy and salem to karur buses wat to stop in a stop called puduchatram which is inbetween salem and namakkal. Because most of the buses are not stoping in peak hours and at nights. Sir If dont get any proper response I will complain further. Im not threatening any one these are words of my frustration. Thats the way TNSTC Salem is functioning.
